Definitely not the same this time around with the C8. The base car looks exciting and offers incredible GS performance straight out of the box as well as a slew of personalization and performance options available to order.

Does this mean GM won’t make a Grand Sport? No. But there surely are not as many reasons to make one this time around with what we’re getting with the base model.
I tend to agree...besides if the Z really is a TT car there is going to have to be some reworking/redesigning of air inlets and spaces to accommodate two BIG intercoolers so the look and design may not make sense for a NA car like it did with the C7 cars.
